Speaker 1: questions do you want to ask? So let's get hyper
Speaker 1: heads up. These are adults having adult conversations, so there
Speaker 1: could be adult content. I am thrilled about this episode
Speaker 1: because I have my girl, Brittany Williams joining me today.
Speaker 1: She is a doll. She's not only beautiful, stunning. You
Speaker 1: see her and you can't help but stare because she's
Speaker 1: so gorgeous. She is sweeter on the inside, which is
Speaker 1: hard to believe. I know. It's one of those girls
Speaker 1: that you're like, really, are you? Are you this perfect? Yes?
Speaker 1: She is. She is so sweet. She does the best makeup.
Speaker 1: I got to know her all last year because a
Speaker 1: thousand horses toured with her hubby Jason Alden, and I
Speaker 1: just fell in love with her. She's the sweetest girl ever.
Speaker 1: A dear friend, so y'all get excited to hear everything tour, life,
Speaker 1: makeup and fashion from Brittany Williams. Okay, I am here
Speaker 1: with the gorgeous Brittany Williams. Yes, that's my name, that's
Speaker 1: your name. And Mia is doing a dog nance trying
Speaker 1: to get in the shot. She want to be in
Speaker 1: the face is pretty me. I should should definitely squirrel,
Speaker 1: She's my squirrel. Come on, Mia, she's being camera shihi.
Speaker 1: So what kind of dog is Mia? She's a teacup Pomeranian.
Speaker 1: But she didn't know she's a teacup. Well, no, she
Speaker 1: thinks she's a pit full Okay, So I want to
Speaker 1: start off with a little rapid fire. Okay, so just
Speaker 1: say the first thing that comes to your head when
Speaker 1: I say the word. Okay, They're going to be great. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, let's have a bucket list. Oh I want
Speaker 1: to go to Tahiti. Yes, I have a few like
Speaker 1: boar boar, there's a bunch, you know, those little huts
Speaker 1: on the water. That's what I want to do. Okay,
Speaker 1: So to he like island, You're an island girl, totally island,
Speaker 1: but but not just any island, you know. I want
Speaker 1: to go to like the really really cool ones. The
Speaker 1: problem is the travel time, and my husband won't go.
Speaker 1: He won't go. Well, he's just like that takes too long. Now,
Speaker 1: how about the bombs. I'm like, well, I mean that's
Speaker 1: great too. However, yeah, Yetta, you gotta do a little
Speaker 1: more like you want to like islands. I think it
Speaker 1: would be worth the travel time because you guys got
Speaker 1: married in Mexico, so y'all started off your relationship island
Speaker 1: island totally. Actually, yeah, he wanted to get married at
Speaker 1: the beach, so it was mostly his idea. I was
Speaker 1: kind of like, I don't care because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, I get to marry you, and that's
Speaker 1: all good wherever we go. I don't care. I love
Speaker 1: that your hair was amazing. You did say something on
Speaker 1: your wedding day though, that never tried new products. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard never tried new products because I tried a sunscreen.
Speaker 1: It was sunbomb and my skin is super sensitive. So
Speaker 1: we left a little gift boxes in all the rooms
Speaker 1: for all of our guests and sunbum We had like
Speaker 1: alo and chapstick and sunscreen and all this. So I
Speaker 1: was like, well, I obviously don't want to be sunburned
Speaker 1: on my wedding day, so I'm gonna use this precaution. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just use this sunscreen. Not even thinking about it, just
Speaker 1: put it on my face though. It was like thirty
Speaker 1: or something. And then the next day I woke up
Speaker 1: and it looked like I had chicken box everywhere. I
Speaker 1: haven't paid ak attack. And then I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I just need some tequila and it'll all be good.
Speaker 1: Here is it all right? Yeah? So I just hearted
Speaker 1: a drinke pretty early and then and then uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I wanted to get in the sun because
Speaker 1: I was like, maybe this your base plowless. You couldn't tell.
Speaker 1: You really couldn't tell. But it was because I had
Speaker 1: a makeup artist and he was the jam. I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, on all day, of all days, I want
Speaker 1: to do I don't want to do my makeup on
Speaker 1: my wedding day. So for you to say that someone
Speaker 1: is the jam as a makeup artist, they must be
Speaker 1: pretty great, though, because you are, to me, like the
Speaker 1: makeup guru kind of sore of all. You're very makeup
Speaker 1: is out of this world. You obviously like this is
Speaker 1: your business here. You have a YouTube page, you do
Speaker 1: pop up seminars, like you always are telling people what
Speaker 1: kind of brands to use tutorials. So for you to
Speaker 1: say that someone's great, he must be pretty good. He's good.
Speaker 1: His his name's mac Daddy on Instagram and his name
Speaker 1: is Angel. But he is awesome and I actually learned
Speaker 1: a lot from him. I'm like a sponge when I
Speaker 1: get other people to do my makeup because I'm always
Speaker 1: open to tried products and all that. So he he
Speaker 1: really saved me that day because I was like having
Speaker 1: an internal attack, your panic attack. I was freaking out
Speaker 1: because it's you, it's your way. Besides that, how was
Speaker 1: your wedding because it looked at it really was. The
Speaker 1: weather was awesome. The paparazzi, I can kiss my butt.
Speaker 1: Other than that, Yeah, they were in a boat at
Speaker 1: the end of the aisle, so you can imagine I'm
Speaker 1: coming up over this sand dune and I'm like, like,
Speaker 1: my husband's at the end of it, and there's cameras
Speaker 1: everywhere in a boat, so I'm like, people really are
Speaker 1: crazy like that. So some of my wedding party gave
Speaker 1: him the finger, and it was great that I didn't
Speaker 1: let them ruin it. Though that's great, And I love
Speaker 1: that too, because obviously you're married to Jason Auden and
Speaker 1: you are just so incredible on your own right, but together,
Speaker 1: you guys are this in the same power couple. So
Speaker 1: people when y'all got together, y'all had just had a
Speaker 1: ton of energy around you guys. But I feel like,
Speaker 1: if anything, y'all have been the strongest couple ever because
Speaker 1: people are so curious about your relationship. But it's like,
Speaker 1: to me, that's just like a great way to start.
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, here, yeah, find out about it. We're
Speaker 1: gon show you how right we are. We haven't been
Speaker 1: through anything, like there's nothing else that could tears, Like
Speaker 1: we've been through so much crap that at this point
Speaker 1: it's like throw it at us. It's fine, you know,
Speaker 1: like nothing can break us because we've been through so
Speaker 1: much already. So it was like, you know, I just
Speaker 1: love him so much. And it's funny because sometimes you
Speaker 1: do things that are so not your character, are so
Speaker 1: out of your realm for the people that you love,
Speaker 1: and absolutely, because I will be darned, I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes I was like, how is this worth it? But
Speaker 1: it absolutely is because I got to marry such a
Speaker 1: good man. So I'm very blessed. You guys are the
Speaker 1: sweetest couple ever. So great, thank you. So okay, got
Speaker 1: record back to rapid fire. Yes, happiness, my head's been
Speaker 1: Any animals I want to throw you too, any animal
Speaker 1: with a heartbeat, don't care. Which is also ironic because
Speaker 1: Jason does love to hunt and has a hunting show.
Speaker 1: So is that like a dilemma in the marriage. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: when we talk about this stuff and we've just come
Speaker 1: to the point where we just have to agree to
Speaker 1: disagree because I'm like, I don't agree with you hunting. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well that's what I've always done, and this is part
Speaker 1: of a business and I'm involved in and remember here
Speaker 1: you go on the show about it, right, Absolutely, okay.
Speaker 1: So it's not just like a hobby. It's a thing.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's a thing. It's and he enjoys it, sincerely,
Speaker 1: grew up doing it and it's something that him and
Speaker 1: his dad used to do, and I it could not
Speaker 1: make me like to the point where back in the
Speaker 1: day he would put camo on and I knew where
Speaker 1: he was going obviously, I mean it would be full
Speaker 1: faced paint and I would cry. I would break down
Speaker 1: in the kitchen and throw a timber tanture of like
Speaker 1: please don't go. I just I know what you're gonna
Speaker 1: go to and I just can't handle it. So it's
Speaker 1: just the point where we he doesn't talk about it.
Speaker 1: It's like it doesn't exist because I'll go crazy. I
Speaker 1: actually was interviewing Ali Ryan, who has the dry house.
Speaker 1: You go to the dry house to get your hair done,
Speaker 1: so I so many great people go to the dry house,
Speaker 1: and we're talking about like different amazing people. She does.
Speaker 1: And one thing we said about you is you're basically
Speaker 1: Saint Francis, which is the Saint of animals. You love
Speaker 1: animals more than people. I think most of the time. Right,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry. I love all to people in
Speaker 1: my life. I love like a good amount, but I
Speaker 1: love every There's not an animal that I don't Where
Speaker 1: did that love come from? I don't really know. My
Speaker 1: parents say that I've always been that way. Like they
Speaker 1: would fix red meat and pork and I would just
Speaker 1: sit there and stare at the plate like I can't
Speaker 1: eat this because that was the pig. Like I knew
Speaker 1: way way early on in life, and so I just
Speaker 1: have don't eat all that stuff and like, I just
Speaker 1: didn't actually associate with the living animal. I think about
Speaker 1: it when I eat, and I there's no way I
Speaker 1: know what you mean, you know. I just feel like,
Speaker 1: now I'm going to throw up. It wasn't even worth
Speaker 1: trying it and died for you to eat it, And
Speaker 1: absolutely I know. I feel the same way. And I
Speaker 1: think about my dog and I'm like, I could have
Speaker 1: just as easily been my dog. I went to So
Speaker 1: I went to the University of Alabama and I went
Speaker 1: to a tailgate once and there was a it was
Speaker 1: like a pig roast or what the heck? Ever, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't I can't go to that stuff anymore.
Speaker 1: But I saw it and it I have an English
Speaker 1: bulldog and it looked like my ducks. My all looks
Speaker 1: like a pig to me. So I was like, scarred
Speaker 1: for life. Yeah, that looks like my animal. I feel
Speaker 1: you can't take it. I love the animals. I think
Speaker 1: that's so good, so sweet. Yeah, okay, okay. Next icon
Speaker 1: Beyonce always yes, it makes me want to have twins.
Speaker 1: I want to. She is like the queen. She's the
Speaker 1: queen and I've met her. Um I do thanks to
Speaker 1: my husband. He was like, do you want a picture?
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, but I don't want to be that
Speaker 1: fan girl. But you know, but you also, he knew
Speaker 1: I didn't have to say anything. He's like, you want it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, baby, yeah, but I'm not going to ask
Speaker 1: because I'm not. I got to calm down here, and
Speaker 1: so we got a picture. She was so sweet, and
Speaker 1: it's funny because I was watching her as she kind
Speaker 1: of made her rounds around the room and she was
Speaker 1: so in tune with every conversation with every person. So
Speaker 1: it wasn't like she was I don't know you, I'm
Speaker 1: going to keep it moving. Deal. Yes, we were talking
Speaker 1: about Blue, she was talking about us having children. She was,
Speaker 1: I mean, such a normal person, but she just cared
Speaker 1: so much about every conversation that she was in. It
Speaker 1: was crazy. You know. I've heard that when I actually
Speaker 1: interviewed Megan Lindsay and she was talking about Farrell and
Speaker 1: she was saying that, like when Farrell speaks, he's like
Speaker 1: in the zone with like Beyonce. I guess you know,
Speaker 1: I think that's amazing trait that people have to be
Speaker 1: in the moment with people. Absolutely they're wanted in all
Speaker 1: these moments and you know that. Yes, So, I mean
Speaker 1: that's a crazy thing that she was able to do that.
Speaker 1: She she was you could just tell that she's so
Speaker 1: kind hearted. And so I was just watching her like,
Speaker 1: you're so amazing, you are just everything. Yes, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: she walked in this room. She had on this little
Speaker 1: it was almost like a leotard and a cape. I
Speaker 1: don't even know what she was wearing, but she can,
Speaker 1: you know, like she could wear a trash bag and
Speaker 1: she just rocks it. And she just walked in like
Speaker 1: it was like a force, you know, coming in the room,
Speaker 1: and she just I've always loved her, but then ever
Speaker 1: since then, knowing like how she kind of like you know,
Speaker 1: was was with other people, it was just really cool
Speaker 1: to see she's a good person too. I love that.
Speaker 1: I know, so I con for sure, I'll give you that.
Speaker 1: I'm agreeing. Okay. Inspiration oh, I would say I would
Speaker 1: say Jace because he's my husband, Jase. I call him
Speaker 1: jase Um because he handles things with such grace, like
Speaker 1: things that I would freak out over with an example,
Speaker 1: But like, okay, so I don't know if something goes on,
Speaker 1: you know, within his business or like on the tour.
Speaker 1: He never freaks. He doesn't ever. I mean it could
Speaker 1: he could say the lightning Chuck isn't here today, the
Speaker 1: show is gonna You're not gonna have to do it
Speaker 1: without lights, I mean something crazy, And he's like, all right,
Speaker 1: well does he like doing it without lights? He doesn't
Speaker 1: make it a big deal. Never never raises his voice, really,
Speaker 1: never never gets like so worked up to where he
Speaker 1: gets angry about things. He just handles things so calmly
Speaker 1: admire that It's very admirable because I would be going,
Speaker 1: oh crap, what are we going to do? Right, flying
Speaker 1: off the handle way more high strung and like he
Speaker 1: just I don't know. Just watching him handle this business
Speaker 1: that he runs. I can't imagine running a business where
Speaker 1: so many people depend on you a be handling it
Speaker 1: with such grace is really cool. So almost amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, he's he's really he's great. Did you give
Speaker 1: a little shout up? It was the most funnier tour
Speaker 1: with y'all last year. I'm going to miss fun and
Speaker 1: all the girls and all the guys. I actually just
Speaker 1: talking about that because each year that comes, you know,
Speaker 1: you hope for good females I do on the tour.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I hope the girlfriends are cool, the wives
Speaker 1: are cool, just whoever's out. And last year we really
Speaker 1: hit the jackpot. We really have every year last but
Speaker 1: last year was so much fun. You guys are awesome.
Speaker 1: It was the best time ever. It's hard to talk,
Speaker 1: you know, know, but you know it's okay because we'll
Speaker 1: just be different memories memories from here on. O great,
Speaker 1: great memories, but more to come. I know. I just
Speaker 1: wish we could just redo it just one more year,
Speaker 1: I know, right, Okay, So you started off as an
Speaker 1: NBA dancer and you were with Charlotte the Bob Cats,
Speaker 1: and you are the Lady Cats. So tell me how
Speaker 1: you got into dancing, and tell me what that was
Speaker 1: like to be on a squad of girls, like twenty
Speaker 1: girls working together where their cap byes d'll get along.
Speaker 1: What did you learn from those years of your life.
Speaker 1: I don't really like drama, so I'm you're very not drama.
Speaker 1: Girls like it. I want everyone to get along, and
Speaker 1: I like to build people up. So I don't understand
Speaker 1: why people would break people down. I just don't get it.
Speaker 1: I but you're also like I'm telling you St. Francis
Speaker 1: and pretty much the like you're like a perfect human, beautiful,
Speaker 1: sweet kind saving on the animals. You're very people, beautiful,
Speaker 1: feel great about themselves. Not sure. I definitely have a
Speaker 1: lot of falls tons, however, so I don't think there's
Speaker 1: anythingk you. Um, yeah, it was hey, baby girl. UM,
Speaker 1: it was definitely difficult sometimes because you throw like fifteen
Speaker 1: to twenty plus girls in one little room, blood, sweat, tears.
Speaker 1: And with the NBA, there's so many games, so it's
Speaker 1: not like the NFL. It's not like, um, you know,
Speaker 1: you have like ten games this season or whatever. We
Speaker 1: had forty plus a year, yes, ma'am. And then if
Speaker 1: you make it the playoffs, you've got more. I mean,
Speaker 1: you just never I mean it's like a definitely a
Speaker 1: part time job on top of the job that you
Speaker 1: already have. So it's a lot, a lot of stress,
Speaker 1: a lot of memorization, which I have the worst memory.
Speaker 1: I can't remember anything, the dance moves, and then you
Speaker 1: have to different dance each time, so every week you're
Speaker 1: learning a new dance, and then you've got time out,
Speaker 1: you've got quarter breaks, like you've got so much stuff
Speaker 1: to remember and I have I literally have the worst memory.
Speaker 1: You have your worst memory. I can remember songs, that's
Speaker 1: about it. So how do you do this? So how
Speaker 1: do you learn a new dance every week? How do
Speaker 1: you learn all the new moves every week? You would
Speaker 1: have to really do your homework and go home and
Speaker 1: really practice otherwise you're going to make a butt of
Speaker 1: yourself out on their court, you know. So it was fun.
Speaker 1: It was just a lot. And I did for two
Speaker 1: years and um, it was awesome, Like I got to
Speaker 1: go to Italy. Are you serious? Yeah, they sent six
Speaker 1: of us to Milan for like an NBA tour, which
Speaker 1: was really cool. And then we you know, shot calendars
Speaker 1: and we did so much fun stuff. And that Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan owned the team, so that was pretty cool. You know,
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's I don't know him no, but you know,
Speaker 1: he would, you know, ever so often just oversee the
Speaker 1: practice and then you'd really have to be on your
Speaker 1: craw and then be at the games. You want to
Speaker 1: make him proud and you want to make everybody proud.
Speaker 1: So it was charl I think he's from North Carolina.
Speaker 1: I mean he went to Carolina. Um, and Hardy said,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna own that team. Probably the dancers he
Speaker 1: probably knew that day were really good. You know. He
Speaker 1: had a had a fiance at the time, which I
Speaker 1: think they're obviously married now and have children and stuff.
Speaker 1: But she was beautiful, so she was always there with him.
Speaker 1: So we didn't really know him, but um, it was
Speaker 1: just cool the fact that he was at the games
Speaker 1: and stuff. So you wanted to really do good for
Speaker 1: him and for everybody in your coach and our coach
Speaker 1: was awesome, honestly, one of the strongest woman I've ever
Speaker 1: met her. Her best friend and mother both passed away
Speaker 1: from breast cancer when we were dancing, and so it
Speaker 1: was just she was just so strong and she would
Speaker 1: show up and she would keep teaching because that was
Speaker 1: what she was there to do. And she got through that,
Speaker 1: and so she had a lot of hardships. She also
Speaker 1: was pregnant and we had no idea. Yes, and she
Speaker 1: would dance with this belly and we had no clue. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she would teach us these dances and under that little
Speaker 1: T shirt she would be wed. Yeah, she's she's a
Speaker 1: rock star. So what did you learn from interacting with
Speaker 1: twenty women on a regular basis? Pick your battles. I
Speaker 1: love that. Love that, like, is it really worth saying anything.
Speaker 1: It's really good thing to learn, especially with women, because
Speaker 1: sometimes women can go down a spiral and just like
Speaker 1: worry about stuff that probably, like you said, pick your
Speaker 1: battles shouldn't be a battle. So that's amazing, got took
Speaker 1: that away. Yeah, And sometimes it's hard to bite your
Speaker 1: tongue when you just want to say because can you
Speaker 1: just give it up, your little bad apple over there,
Speaker 1: you need to go. But just gotta make it, make
Speaker 1: it work, and you know, the least amount of drama
Speaker 1: the better. Just trying to make everybody laugh and smile
Speaker 1: and have fun. And I've always feel like I'm always
Speaker 1: the goober in the group, which I like because I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: if they're laughing, I mean they may be laughing at me,
Speaker 1: but at least they're laughing. So that. Yeah, in the
Speaker 1: middle of this, you all show, all show. In the
Speaker 1: middle of this, you also auditioned for American Idol, and
Speaker 1: that was kind of like a life changing moment because
Speaker 1: this is happening the same time you're like dancing, you're
Speaker 1: starting the dancing first time, you're also auditioning. You make
Speaker 1: it to Hollywood. So when you auditioned, Steven Tyler and
Speaker 1: Randy and j Loo were there, and oh my god,
Speaker 1: I love j Lo. But what was it like to
Speaker 1: see them in person? And how did that go? Because
Speaker 1: your voice is so soulful? Oh you're very well. Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: where to start with this one? So the NBA was
Speaker 1: on the lockout. I don't know if you remember that,
Speaker 1: but they didn't have the games, so it was almost
Speaker 1: like and I had such stage fright up to that point.
Speaker 1: I always love singing, but to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: I avoid every single major in college that had public
Speaker 1: speaking as a requirement because I cannot. At the time,
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. I was like, it's funny, it's
Speaker 1: changing you wrap and dancing karaoke and own a crowd.
Speaker 1: Like now, if you caught me back in college, there's
Speaker 1: no way, There's absolutely no So I um didn't take
Speaker 1: any of those courses in college just because of that.
Speaker 1: And then I started dancing, which then they would threw
Speaker 1: me in on interviews or I would obviously have to
Speaker 1: be dancing in front of tons of people. So then
Speaker 1: I started to build some more confidence in front of
Speaker 1: the camera and everything and then we went to the lockout,
Speaker 1: so NBA stopped having games. So then I was like, well, shoot,
Speaker 1: you know, American I was coming to town. I think
Speaker 1: I'm sure. My parents were like, you gotta go, you
Speaker 1: gotta go. My dad is like my biggest man. He's set,
Speaker 1: so he's like, just try, just try. Why not? So
Speaker 1: I get it could yeah, but you're like, whatever, Dad,
Speaker 1: There's so many people. So I think my year that
Speaker 1: I auditioned, there was a hundred and twelve thousand people
Speaker 1: that auditioned. Yes, ma'am, that is a lot. Did you
Speaker 1: have to wait in line? Yes? How will you will
Speaker 1: wait in line? And then you kind of fill on
Speaker 1: auditorium so it's like an arena, I mean, guaranteed to
Speaker 1: get to sing, you guaranteed sure if you get there
Speaker 1: early enough, so like you have a number whatever it is,
Speaker 1: and then you kind of file out. At some point
Speaker 1: they stopped taking people because there's just a hundred people
Speaker 1: performing one day. Well, I think that was across America,
Speaker 1: so at the time, like in my thing, there might
Speaker 1: have been twelve thousand or something. I mean it was
Speaker 1: a lot though, yes, okay, and so yeah, so then
Speaker 1: you perform and then you have to go through a
Speaker 1: bunch of different stages honestly before you meet the judges.
Speaker 1: So you have to, like you get a lot of
Speaker 1: people are getting eliminated before they even get time judges. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they're not going to make those judges see everybody
Speaker 1: a d twelve people, you know, they're going to eliminate
Speaker 1: probably like I guess the worst and the best of
Speaker 1: the lunch, you know, and then so anyways, long behold,
Speaker 1: like a bunch of rounds happen, and then eventually later
Speaker 1: on I met the judges, which was when they gave
Speaker 1: me the ticket to Holly Would However, Steven Tyler liked me,
Speaker 1: Randy like me. Jelo did not. Why was Jaylo thrown?
Speaker 1: She just hated me. I don't know, no idea. You
Speaker 1: were such a fan of her. I know, I was
Speaker 1: super bombed. It was like, even though I got that
Speaker 1: ticket to go to Hollywood, I was like sad, I
Speaker 1: came out and and my family's there and they're all,
Speaker 1: you know, yelling, and I'm like, oh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: But in the back of my head, I'm like, dang,
Speaker 1: I really was thinking me and Jaylo, you know, I
Speaker 1: was like saying, like she danced she said. I just thought,
Speaker 1: you know, she was totally going to be like girl yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was not. It was like girl, no go home,
Speaker 1: dang Okay, So how is Hollywood? What was that like?
Speaker 1: So you go to Hollywood when getting this golden ticket?
Speaker 1: I've always wondered what that is? Like so cool? So
Speaker 1: much anxiety exactly, I don't really know. Actually, last, that's
Speaker 1: when TV starts being filmed, right, like oh yeah, and
Speaker 1: they want you to cry. They want you, you know,
Speaker 1: to be emotional and like go through the thing. Well
Speaker 1: not like a big crier, so they kept they would
Speaker 1: put the camera in your face if they thought you
Speaker 1: were about to get there, you know, like well tell
Speaker 1: us about it and then it makes you be upset. Well,
Speaker 1: I just remember being so full of anxiety because it's
Speaker 1: so scary because you know that you're about to perform um.
Speaker 1: Half the time, songs you don't really even know because
Speaker 1: they throw them on you, you you know. Sometimes like the
Speaker 1: group round was really difficult. That would be very hard.
Speaker 1: You've seen harmonies too, and just like very I can't
Speaker 1: see harmony. I can't either. I can't hear that very hard.
Speaker 1: I know. I'm like I cannot be in a girl group,
Speaker 1: and I would love to be, but I cannot feel
Speaker 1: the same way. I can't eat a girl from either,
Speaker 1: even though I mean, harmonies are just like you either
Speaker 1: hear them or you don't, and I don't neither. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I just gotta fade out exactly. So I remember,
Speaker 1: like we had the group round and I was the
Speaker 1: first one to start apapella. Oh my gosh. And right
Speaker 1: before we hit the stage, I'm on the side stage
Speaker 1: and I'm going there like count down to we walk out,
Speaker 1: and I turned to one of the girls in my
Speaker 1: group and I'm like, I don't know this song. I
Speaker 1: don't know this song. What are the first words? Yes, no, clue,
Speaker 1: what's the first line? What's the first line? Did she
Speaker 1: tell you? Yeah? She was like whatever it was, and
Speaker 1: it came back to and died. It came to me
Speaker 1: and I was like, I said yeah after that because
Speaker 1: I was like, that was the big man upstairs because
Speaker 1: I totally drew a blank, and I ended up making
Speaker 1: it to the next round. Have no idea how that's amazing. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, you get it very far in American idol.
Speaker 1: I mean it like, you know, decently far farther than
Speaker 1: I expected to, for sure awesome and at the same
Speaker 1: time as when you met Jason too, right right, busy
Speaker 1: couple of years where you go from it was really
Speaker 1: basking American I don't mean Jason. Yeah, and then I
Speaker 1: went to American Idol them back to dancing, and then
Speaker 1: feet back to the Bobcats, and then I moved to
Speaker 1: to Yes, Okay, so how do you decide to say,
Speaker 1: hanging up with the Bobcats? You know, I started to
Speaker 1: work with someone within the American Idol group, so or
Speaker 1: like production or whatever it was with one of the people, um,
Speaker 1: one of the people within the organization, I guess. And
Speaker 1: so then I ended up moving to l A. And
Speaker 1: then how long did you live in l A? I
Speaker 1: lived in l A for only a year, and then
Speaker 1: I moved to Vegas worked at the Bella. Yes you did, girl,
Speaker 1: You have fun in Vegas and l A. I had
Speaker 1: so much fun. I actually, if it weren't for Jason,
Speaker 1: I'd probably still live in California, That's how much I
Speaker 1: loved it. Okay, So what were you loving so much
Speaker 1: of l A? I just love the weather. I loved
Speaker 1: your Cali girl. Well, I just loved the beach. Granted,
Speaker 1: it's like the waters cold, and you know, but I
Speaker 1: like how everybody's kind of free spirited and you can
Speaker 1: kind of do whatever you want. You can look like
Speaker 1: crap or you can wear a dang you know, crazy
Speaker 1: crap walking down the road, end up matter, you know anything.
Speaker 1: I love that, and I just I don't know, I
Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. However, my whole family is in the South,
Speaker 1: so I've always been kind of the butterfly. So I
Speaker 1: was like, one day I knew I'd probably make it
Speaker 1: back to the South, but I just needed to get
Speaker 1: that stuff out my sister, you know that resolutely too.
Speaker 1: So I was Vegas. Vegas was fun. I don't suggest
Speaker 1: living there. It's fun for like four days, I say,
Speaker 1: like two nights, three days, and I'm ready to like
Speaker 1: telling you, yeah, you get like twice a year. There's
Speaker 1: a while where I feel like the guys were traveling
Speaker 1: probably Jason goes all the time, and it was like
Speaker 1: like almost every other month was Vegas. I'm like, this
Speaker 1: is too much Vegas. We're about to hit the A
Speaker 1: c M. S again. I was like, oh gosh, at
Speaker 1: least I don't gamble, because I've never had a temptation
Speaker 1: to go out and that's spend money or the rabit
Speaker 1: hole there. Oh yeah, so yeah, I just I worked
Speaker 1: at the Blaggio. That was really fun. I met some
Speaker 1: really cool people that I still talked to to this day.
Speaker 1: It's just tough out there if you live because a
Speaker 1: lot of people are tourists, so making friends and stuff
Speaker 1: is just pretty difficult, you know, because it's like you
Speaker 1: meet people, but then they're gone in a few days,
Speaker 1: you know, and then you know everybody out there, a
Speaker 1: lot of people are about the nightlife. Did you dance
Speaker 1: in Vegas or no? I ended up singing. I actually
Speaker 1: got hired there to sing. Did I did? Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I sang. One of the guys, oh Man, one of
Speaker 1: the guys that was singing when I went there to
Speaker 1: visit with some friends did idle with me, and he
Speaker 1: was on stage and was like, come up here and
Speaker 1: sing a song with me. So we were friends from
Speaker 1: IDOL and I did and then got off and then
Speaker 1: it kind of spiraled from there and they were moved
Speaker 1: to Vegas. Yeah, okay, why not sure what I was
Speaker 1: at the time. Still kind of am one of those
Speaker 1: people if you're like, let's move to Hawaii. It, I'll
Speaker 1: give it a year. I love that, you know, totally,
Speaker 1: why not unless there's a reason why not? Why not?
Speaker 1: Why not? I was single, I didn't have anything going on,
Speaker 1: and I was like, sure, I just live it up. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I always say that the twenties are for yourself, you know, Like,
Speaker 1: I feel like, I'm so glad. I spent a majority
Speaker 1: of my twenties just chasing dreams, doing what I wanted
Speaker 1: to do. Really, and how are you got married? I
Speaker 1: was twenty seven? Yeah, I feel like seven. I feel
Speaker 1: like that's the best to have, like your early twenties because,
Speaker 1: like anything in the early twenties, not me, you probably
Speaker 1: did because your head has been screwed on the hot mess.
Speaker 1: If I knew then what I know now, Oh how
Speaker 1: different my life would be, you know what I mean? Yeah, Yes,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm just each year I just tell
Speaker 1: your younger twenties, Oh my god, she'll out a girl,
Speaker 1: she'll talk to that guy. Oh that guy. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: an asshole. Yeah, it's not worth it. You think at
Speaker 1: the time things are so important. Yes, oh not at
Speaker 1: all exactly. I actually tell like Jason's daughters, I'm like,
Speaker 1: you're about to be one of them. You're about to
Speaker 1: be in high school. Whatever happens there at the time
Speaker 1: seems so important. It doesn't matter a mistake in high school. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you can obviously bounce back from anything in camp. But
Speaker 1: like high school is not it. It's not And at
Speaker 1: the time you think it's it's always isn't like everything.
Speaker 1: I liked it, but like I don't know, I was transferring.
Speaker 1: I transferred school. It's like, yeah, I was insecure in
Speaker 1: high school, insecure and in high school and college, like
Speaker 1: it was just kind of like, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: didn't feel good in my skin yet I didn't either. Actually,
Speaker 1: now that you say that, I had really bad acne
Speaker 1: being of skins, and I had really bad skin at
Speaker 1: the time, So you know, I don't know. I feel
Speaker 1: like I've missed out on a lot of stuff just
Speaker 1: because of it. I know that sounds so silly, but
Speaker 1: I think that's why I'm made beauty so much now, Okay,
Speaker 1: So it made you feel so like self conscious that
Speaker 1: you wanted to how other people not feel that way? Goodness? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: is that what spurred your life. It made beauty and
Speaker 1: makeup because I remember there would be like pool parties
Speaker 1: and stuff going on in high school, and you know,
Speaker 1: my mom would say, do you want to go? And
Speaker 1: I'm like, uh no, do you see what's going on?
Speaker 1: If I get the water acting yeah, not just like
Speaker 1: because your face is lawless. Would never I actually was
Speaker 1: on accutane six times, wow, six which if I don't
Speaker 1: even know if some doctors would even prescribe it to
Speaker 1: somebody six times. But I was crazy, right, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: So now I'm just super into skincare and like wear
Speaker 1: my sunscreen every day and always wanting it to be
Speaker 1: super clear, and you know, I get my peels and
Speaker 1: I do all my stuff because I don't know. It
Speaker 1: was just so it's almost like I'm making up for
Speaker 1: lost time. And it was almost kind of like traumatizing.
Speaker 1: You don't want to go through that again. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel so bad for people. So talk to me about
Speaker 1: when you decided I'm going to make beauty my business,
Speaker 1: because there was a thing that happened. I was like
Speaker 1: a transformation you started because I always knew you're, like
Speaker 1: you're the most gorgeous creature on this earth, but you
Speaker 1: started doing pop up like clinics like I don't know,
Speaker 1: classes or classes, and then like you really started making
Speaker 1: videos and like really helping people understand everyday looks, which
Speaker 1: I love because I can't figure out I can't figure
Speaker 1: out any looks. I'm like, I have one look that's
Speaker 1: night and day and I don't even know if it's
Speaker 1: right or wrong. So when did you decide to make
Speaker 1: this your business because it just took off. Well, honestly
Speaker 1: when I married Jason, because I wanted to be able
Speaker 1: to be on the road, make money, do my own thing.
Speaker 1: So you actually have to get creative, yeah, because you know,
Speaker 1: I want to be with him obviously, I want to
Speaker 1: experience all the cool stuff that he's experiencing. At the
Speaker 1: same time, don't want to lose myself because I'm so
Speaker 1: independent and have always had a job and stuff, and so,
Speaker 1: you know, for a while I kind of lived the
Speaker 1: road life and you know, just enjoyed it, enjoyed you know,
Speaker 1: not working for a minute. And then I was like
Speaker 1: twiddling my thumbs on the bus. So how is the
Speaker 1: road life? Tell me what road life is life? From
Speaker 1: your perspective? And I think, you know, but people think
Speaker 1: it is so glamorous. It is not. I mean, you
Speaker 1: live out of a suitcase, You've got like dirty bus water.
Speaker 1: Not really, but kind of, Um, wasn't that potable water?
Speaker 1: It just turns your hair color really crappy, like yellow
Speaker 1: for me, I don't know. And then like I don't know,
Speaker 1: you just can't. You can't drink the water on the bus.
Speaker 1: You gotta bush your teeth with a bottled water. I mean,
Speaker 1: you think it's so glamorous, and I try to make
Speaker 1: it as glamorous as possible by like dressing up and
Speaker 1: trying to look cute for the shows, and then there's
Speaker 1: only un Tour buses are like magical, you know, like
Speaker 1: store busses, but you cannot want you're like in life
Speaker 1: on a tour bus. They are amazing and it's way
Speaker 1: better than a van or anything like that. Absolutely yes,
Speaker 1: But on one hand, like we're spold rotten with it
Speaker 1: because people get on it and they'll say, this is
Speaker 1: so nice. This is this is what you guys travel on.
Speaker 1: But it's like no, no, no, this is like what
Speaker 1: we live on. So even though it's nice for a minute,
Speaker 1: after a while it's close quarters quarters, you're like totally,
Speaker 1: I'm over it within the first month of traveling, I swear. Um.
Speaker 1: It just depends sometimes I'm like, I've had enough for
Speaker 1: a minute, and we have, yes, because I think it
Speaker 1: was last year we went from January to October pretty
Speaker 1: much NonStop. I mean it was like, we're home Sunday afternoon,
Speaker 1: lee begin Wednesday afternoon. So it's like, and they earn
Speaker 1: more than your home. Yeah, so that is primarily our home. However,
Speaker 1: this year we decided to kind of decorate our ound bus.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you got to see it. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen it yet. It's just in the works right now.
Speaker 1: But we kind of didn't overhaul um, and so it
Speaker 1: really made it more homing, yes, because before we were
Speaker 1: just you know, getting busses and saying, Okay, this will
Speaker 1: do for a year or two, you know, and whatever.
Speaker 1: And then now this one's got a kennel for the
Speaker 1: dogs under our bonds, so the babies can under us
Speaker 1: rotten and you're happy, aren't you happy? You poop on
Speaker 1: a rugs? Thank you? But uh yeah, so we actually
Speaker 1: put like time and effort into this bus. So I'm
Speaker 1: super excited for this year for the first time. I'm
Speaker 1: stoked to go on the road. Love it. Okay, So
Speaker 1: tell me how you decided to start doing like pop up,
Speaker 1: makeup classic. Um, yeah, that's pretty much how. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to be a Jason on the road and wanted
Speaker 1: to make money. And then I found that people were like,
Speaker 1: come to Texas, come to Minnesota, come here, come there.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, what if I just held
Speaker 1: occasional classes and taught people what I know or what
Speaker 1: I do. I mean, it's not even like obviously what
Speaker 1: I do is not by the book by any means,
Speaker 1: but this is if you guys like it, I'll teach
Speaker 1: you. You You know, this is this is what I do.
Speaker 1: And how perfect though that fit your description of what
Speaker 1: you're wanting, like your own job, making own money. But
Speaker 1: it's flexible. Jason schedule actually works perfectly. It takes you
Speaker 1: across the country exactly. And it was fun and I
Speaker 1: got to meet so many awesome girls and you know,
Speaker 1: make them happy, which was cool. And I would always
Speaker 1: pick someone within the class to do makeup on so
Speaker 1: one of the girls would get their makeup done that
Speaker 1: day too, which is cool. And but for the most part,
Speaker 1: they were coming to the show, which was nice because
Speaker 1: either they learned something to do their makeup to go
Speaker 1: to the show or you know, to go out to events,
Speaker 1: but one of them got to get their makeup done
Speaker 1: for the show that night, so that was kind of cool.
Speaker 1: They all go to the show that night for the
Speaker 1: most part, a lot of them are you know, fans,
Speaker 1: and experience. It was really cool. I mean, I've kind
Speaker 1: of cut back on it a little bit just because
Speaker 1: we haven't been on the road, and I haven't. I've
Speaker 1: done one in Nashville which did really really well. I
Speaker 1: need to do another one sometime soon. But yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of just trying to enjoy the time off right now.
Speaker 1: But that's how I started doing the pop up shows,
Speaker 1: because I mean, why not make people feel good about themselves?
Speaker 1: And you have a quote which I love. You have
Speaker 1: this on your YouTube video introduction and you say I
Speaker 1: love all things. I love all things makeup and beauty
Speaker 1: and making women feel great in their own skin, which
Speaker 1: I freaking love that you really do have a cause
Speaker 1: to make women feel great in their own skin, no
Speaker 1: matter what your skin is, because I know how it feels.
Speaker 1: Makeup can transform yours to like it really can make
Speaker 1: you feel confident. Trust me, I do not look like
Speaker 1: I do now in the morning when I wake up.
Speaker 1: This girl I which I could say I did, but
Speaker 1: I did note you did. You're sweet. My husband will
Speaker 1: tell you differently. It's fun. I'm like, for the first
Speaker 1: however long we dated, I'm like, okay, I gotta get
Speaker 1: my crap together. Don't wake up. Luckily he sleeps forever,
Speaker 1: so I could get up and like for you and
Speaker 1: the patches up on and then like wake up and
Speaker 1: it's perfect. It's like on Bridesmaids, you know, when she
Speaker 1: goes to the bathroom, she puts her lips stone and
Speaker 1: she goes and gets like she never like it was natural.
Speaker 1: So tell me something like one or two of the
Speaker 1: most transformational stories that you've experienced from helping a woman
Speaker 1: with her makeup. Oh gosh, have you had a moment
Speaker 1: that you're like, oh, this is like why I do this?
Speaker 1: Oh so many times, just honestly, like when people, you know,
Speaker 1: they don't really know how to do makeup, so they
Speaker 1: come in kind of bare faced, don't know what to do,
Speaker 1: and then at the end of me doing their makeup,
Speaker 1: I give them the mirror and it's like they want
Speaker 1: to cry because they're like, that's me. They didn't know
Speaker 1: they could look like that. And it's really simple it's
Speaker 1: like little simple steps that make such a difference. So
Speaker 1: there was one that she was so flipping beautiful. I
Speaker 1: was like, she should cheer for the day Dallas Cowboy childers.
Speaker 1: This girl is just gorgeous and she had a few children,
Speaker 1: and she had never seen herself that way with makeup
Speaker 1: done properly on her face, and so she was like,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to go see my husband. I'm going
Speaker 1: to tell him we got to go on a date tonight.
Speaker 1: And that always makes me feel good because I'm like, girl,
Speaker 1: get yes. And I think I've actually talked about this
Speaker 1: to several people. I think it is a okay and
Speaker 1: actually wonderful to feel sexy in your own body, especially
Speaker 1: for your husband, and more like just to feel good
Speaker 1: whatever it is, to feel like you like, feel great
Speaker 1: in your skin. Yes, that changes your whole outlook on life.
Speaker 1: It does. It does, because I mean there's days obviously
Speaker 1: you wake up and you may feel a little bit
Speaker 1: of overweight, or you may feel like your skin is
Speaker 1: not good, or your hair is just funky or whatever's
Speaker 1: going on, and a lot of times that can you
Speaker 1: know dictate like how your day goes. I know that
Speaker 1: sounds kind of vain. I know, sometimes I'll have like
Speaker 1: a big breakout and I'm like, I just don't even
Speaker 1: want to go anywhere. I just want to stay at
Speaker 1: home with pimple cream on, you know, or like a
Speaker 1: hair mask, like I need, I need a minute. And
Speaker 1: it's funny how stuff like that can dictate your how
Speaker 1: you feel that day. And so, you know, just trying
Speaker 1: to help women, you know, be the best them as
Speaker 1: far as looks go and stuff, it really does make
Speaker 1: a difference. So talking about your YouTube page, because you
Speaker 1: launched and you also kind of launched with Halloween looks,
Speaker 1: which I think is great. At the same time, you
Speaker 1: did a combination like partnership with the dry House for
Speaker 1: the Day where you like gave people makeup for Halloween.
Speaker 1: So tell me about your YouTube page and what people
Speaker 1: can expect there because I know you have like a
Speaker 1: series of everyday looks, which I love, you have costume looks,
Speaker 1: Like what kind of things you want to are we
Speaker 1: going to be expecting? Um? Just definitely there's whatever people request, really,
Speaker 1: even if it's like my skincare routine or you know,
Speaker 1: stuff with fashion, what it varies. Do you have like
Speaker 1: a certain type of product that you I have so many.
Speaker 1: The problem is is that I need. I'm almost thirty,
Speaker 1: so I need and big birthday. So ex I actually
Speaker 1: feel like it's fine, thirty fine, fine, you know what,
Speaker 1: you get better with age totally. I think. I think
Speaker 1: thirties are the best. I wouldn't get back to my
Speaker 1: twenties for a million bucks, really no. But I was
Speaker 1: a hot mess in my twenties. I know I'm still
Speaker 1: kind of a hot mess. I feel like I might
Speaker 1: always be a hot mess. It's not put together, but
Speaker 1: at least my head's not totally insane like it used
Speaker 1: to be. Yes, I do have not things to feel.
Speaker 1: The babies, you got it. I can't wait for that
Speaker 1: lot some babies in the thirties, I do. Yeah, why
Speaker 1: the babies? Why not? Yeah? I don't know. But what
Speaker 1: was the question. So the question was every day looks
Speaker 1: what you used for your face? Like, oh, Jame got it?
Speaker 1: Thirty yes, and then you're thirty. Yeah. So I have
Speaker 1: been trying to start with like the age preventative stuff
Speaker 1: and trying to do like you know, I creams and
Speaker 1: really help with wrinkles and stuff like use products that
Speaker 1: will help me look better. As far as age goes um.
Speaker 1: But the problem is is my skin so acne prone
Speaker 1: and sensitive, so it's almost like I find it. It's
Speaker 1: like a day to day thing, like if I have
Speaker 1: a breakout, then I'll treat it with some acne products
Speaker 1: that day. If my face is feeling good and looking clear,
Speaker 1: then I'll treat the wrinkles that day. You know, it
Speaker 1: just it varies based on what's happening that day. You
Speaker 1: would think that I would stop getting pimples, you know,
Speaker 1: around thirty, But no, no, I feel like I got
Speaker 1: an adult onset acne, Like in my late twenties I
Speaker 1: had nothing, and then they just all started coming in
Speaker 1: my thirties. I know. I don't understand. And being on
Speaker 1: the road is tough too because that recycled air. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't get fully clean on the road. I really
Speaker 1: don't think you cannot help bus venue unless you get
Speaker 1: to like a hotel. It's always a little dirty. And
Speaker 1: my husband's kind of a hermit, so he doesn't like
Speaker 1: to leave the bus. Whereas if we have an option
Speaker 1: of a hotel, I'm like, please, babe, just give you
Speaker 1: one night. I just want to go. It's sprawl out
Speaker 1: in this kingsize bed take a shower for an hour, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, because you just don't get to do that
Speaker 1: on the bus. So I don't know. So it's hard
Speaker 1: to stay is totally clean in a totally clean face? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because the water's not it's like gas station water, you know,
Speaker 1: because they fill it up. There can't be healthy. No.
Speaker 1: So if I was going to do like an everyday
Speaker 1: routine and I didn't want to spin forever doing it,
Speaker 1: how long would it take and how many products would
Speaker 1: I need? It depends if you want it to be
Speaker 1: pretty natural. I'm a little different because I have my things,
Speaker 1: like I need my lip liner, I need eyeliner. You know,
Speaker 1: those are things unless I have a tan If you
Speaker 1: have a tan everything is better. Which I don't condone tanning.
Speaker 1: I condoned spray tanning. You think spright tanning is worse? No,
Speaker 1: it's great. Oh condoned What does that mean? You like it? Oh? Wait?
Speaker 1: What did I just say? I think you're right? No?
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't condone, but I do you Okay? Yes, wait, no,
Speaker 1: you're right supporting spray tanning, not tanning. But yes to me,
Speaker 1: wrinkles to me, sun spots too much crap? Worth it?
Speaker 1: And everything I did in my younger years because my
Speaker 1: parents didn't quite believe in sunscreen. Okay they did, but
Speaker 1: not not often. You know. It's like, hey, put on
Speaker 1: your thirty once in a day at the lake and
Speaker 1: then you're good. No, when Tanny Beths came out, this
Speaker 1: is terrible. I used to double tanning, but like I
Speaker 1: would go to one in the morning and another one afternoon.
Speaker 1: Is that not insane? It's insane bute, And now I like,
Speaker 1: oh my poor body, why did I do that? I know,
Speaker 1: so I'm trying now to reverse everything that I did
Speaker 1: as far as sun goes. You know, yes, that kind
Speaker 1: of sucks. So tell me what you're looking forward to
Speaker 1: in sens Is gonna be forty are exactly? Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a big. It's a big and it's also seventeen, so
Speaker 1: it's lucky. Seven sevens are lucky that they need some luck. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Last year was something I think two
Speaker 1: th sixteen was a little rough for a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Two sixteen was like great in so many ways, like obviously,
Speaker 1: like touring with you guys was like the best, and
Speaker 1: I launched this podcast. It was a great, But like
Speaker 1: I had a heavy year. It was just like an
Speaker 1: exhausting year for some reason. Yours was Bentley got diagnosed
Speaker 1: with cancer, my my buldog. Yeah, so that's kind of
Speaker 1: litle chubby. And we moved into this new house um
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, so it was great. However,
Speaker 1: Jason was on the road and my mom and a
Speaker 1: couple of people came in town to help me move,
Speaker 1: and Bentley got diagnosed with cancer the day we were moving.
Speaker 1: So I was like in shambles, you know. I mean
Speaker 1: he was over there. He was actually in the hospital,
Speaker 1: but he just went south real quick. And then so
Speaker 1: it was like trying to tell people where to put
Speaker 1: stuff and help them. And I'm over here just crying
Speaker 1: in the corner half the time, you know, because I'm like,
Speaker 1: I cannot lose him. I have had him since college.
Speaker 1: He is my heart, soul and everything in between. Like
Speaker 1: I know, it sounds so silly, but he is my man.
Speaker 1: He is other than my husband. He is like the
Speaker 1: most important thing to me. I swear, it's so weird
Speaker 1: to feel that way about a dog, but I do
Speaker 1: love you. Mia. She is at the fireplace. She's on
Speaker 1: the fireplace. You're cute she's just looking at you like
Speaker 1: I'm ready to be held, Ready to be held. Oh
Speaker 1: she's she feels left out. Um so that you know,
Speaker 1: it started out with Bennie getting cancer and and luckily though,
Speaker 1: I had to find the silver lining it at all,
Speaker 1: because even though he got diagnosed, he's still kicking. And
Speaker 1: it's two thousand seventeen. So it's like, so, what was
Speaker 1: the silver lining that you found that he's still alive
Speaker 1: and he's still doing good. You know, he's in chemo,
Speaker 1: but he's still here. So it's like, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: more than he's sick when he's feeling great and still
Speaker 1: here exactly, and I still have him and that's such
Speaker 1: a blessing. And then like I didn't, you know, lose
Speaker 1: anyone close to me. I always pray for everyone's health
Speaker 1: and I just want everyone to be safe, and like
Speaker 1: in my life still, I don't want anyone to pass away.
Speaker 1: I have a really hard time with death. Um So,
Speaker 1: everyone immediate to me, you know, was did well, like
Speaker 1: as far as health goes, you know, for two thousand
Speaker 1: and sixteen. But then one of my really really good
Speaker 1: friends in Vegas, one of my girls, her baby passed
Speaker 1: away in the summer. It was right after my birthday
Speaker 1: in June, and that was like the worst, seriously, the
Speaker 1: worst thing I've ever experienced in life. I don't think
Speaker 1: anyone should have to bury a child, their child period um,
Speaker 1: but you know, he was so he was five months
Speaker 1: so that was really really hard. I mean hard to
Speaker 1: this day. Think about it every day. I think about
Speaker 1: her every day. So that's it's tough. Life is so
Speaker 1: precious goodness, and it can change so quickly and change
Speaker 1: so quickly. It's like, I think too exactly kind of
Speaker 1: what you're saying. You just have to like cherish it
Speaker 1: and not take it for granted and value the relationships
Speaker 1: because relationships, at the end of the day are really
Speaker 1: what makes all of it worthwhile. Absolutely, I'm like, we
Speaker 1: could lose all of this, everything can go away tomorrow.
Speaker 1: But if I still have my people, yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 1: You can rebuild, you can figure something else that I'm
Speaker 1: always like, we can move to Mexico, open a taco stand.
Speaker 1: How fun would that be? We should actually consider you
Speaker 1: really wouldn't be mad, would be mad at all. So,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, there was it was a great
Speaker 1: year in some aspects, and then sad and others. So
Speaker 1: but I think you know, we're thinking babies. I would
Speaker 1: love babies. If God would give me some, bless me
Speaker 1: with some, I would totally be happy about it, you know, yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll try to have some with you. Let's have twins, yes,
Speaker 1: in October? In October. Well, I tell Michael, maybe we'll
Speaker 1: start trying in October. We're trying to get him on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he'll just be so happy, especially if you have
Speaker 1: a girl, be a little you, He'll be oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: she'll never be the same. Do you want a little
Speaker 1: girl and a little boy? I want I want a
Speaker 1: boy and I want a girl. Okay, twins, I'm telling
Speaker 1: you the twins are the way to go. But then
Speaker 1: you think about our lifestyle and the way that we travel.
Speaker 1: Could you travel with twins? I guess you figured it out.
Speaker 1: I guess you do. I mean you just have to write.
Speaker 1: I mean, ifce can do it. However, Jason does not
Speaker 1: want Nanny's not even like a good friend that could
Speaker 1: help watch the kids. I mean maybe, okay, mom, which
Speaker 1: he would love that, but he's just like, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 1: We can do this by ourselves. I'm like, so tell
Speaker 1: me about road, Like what would that look like? Because
Speaker 1: that's the thing that I can never quite figure out
Speaker 1: how to do that part of I don't know, because
Speaker 1: like I feel like we would miss out on a
Speaker 1: lot being the mom. Yeah, you know, can't go to
Speaker 1: everything that and then the boys don't start playing untill later,
Speaker 1: you know, Jason doesn't go on till nine thirty at night,
Speaker 1: so then I can't go to the show because I've
Speaker 1: got babies or a baby, you know. And then he
Speaker 1: doesn't get done till eleven once they hang out with
Speaker 1: his band, which I don't blame him, you know, or whatever,
Speaker 1: but then it's like you just kind of kick it
Speaker 1: by yourself, you know, And I feel like that that's hard.
Speaker 1: It's hard to let go of that. Like I can,
Speaker 1: I'm on my own schedule, can do whatever I want.
Speaker 1: If I want to go over here and have a drink,
Speaker 1: I can. If I want to go watch the show,
Speaker 1: I can, you know, entertain all your friends that are
Speaker 1: in town. M And I think that kind of but
Speaker 1: I guess we all have to keep evolving, huh or not?
Speaker 1: We decided not to have babies. Lots of animals, lots
Speaker 1: of animals just saying I'll have save every dog, save
Speaker 1: them all. I really want to do that, actually rescue.
Speaker 1: If you do it, I'll help you out. I promise.
Speaker 1: That's part of my I want to do that on
Speaker 1: my bucket list one at one point in my life,
Speaker 1: I know I want to do it too. I hear
Speaker 1: here there's like kill shelters in Nashville, and I had
Speaker 1: no idea. Okay, so you should start swooping up those dogs.
Speaker 1: Start started out here. Yeah, we have a barn. Great,
Speaker 1: that's all. You need to get a vet to come, like,
Speaker 1: you know, once a week, just like monitor the pets,
Speaker 1: and then they can we can get donations to make
Speaker 1: sure they're all vaccinated, and then people will come adopt
Speaker 1: them and will be perfect. It sounds like such a dream.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even go on the road anymore. That would
Speaker 1: know my full focus. Yes, totally. I think that'd be
Speaker 1: a great focus to put that on the bucket list.
Speaker 1: I do too. Something else that you have done with Jason.
Speaker 1: I think it is so cute is you'll do these
Speaker 1: like car veraokey his heart and I make him do
Speaker 1: it is the funniest stuff ever. And I feel like
Speaker 1: it's so funny. See Jason like that because I don't
Speaker 1: know if people expect that he's so funny. He is
Speaker 1: so funny. He's so funny, he really is, and he's
Speaker 1: so sarcastic. Our humor is so different. He's sarcastic and
Speaker 1: says things and like won't laugh. And then you know,
Speaker 1: I say, I do not have a filter sometimes, so
Speaker 1: I will just talk like stuff I should not ever say,
Speaker 1: but I say it, and so we were just so
Speaker 1: different it he's so sarcastic and I'm just so different.
Speaker 1: So anyways, I was like, this is fun babe. I
Speaker 1: feel like people should be able to see your personality
Speaker 1: more because they only see, you know, when he does interviews,
Speaker 1: he's a little more like proper and that's not really
Speaker 1: him because he's like a joking all the time, right
Speaker 1: all the time, and people don't know that you think
Speaker 1: he's being serious. You're like, oh my gosh, it took
Speaker 1: me a minute, you know, being funny, he's just snastic.
Speaker 1: He's sarcastic as crap. And I had I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: was he serious? Does he really think that my jeans
Speaker 1: look like crap? I'm confused, you know, He's just God,
Speaker 1: I need to change. Yeah, So in these car videos,
Speaker 1: what are you calling him? They're like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what they are. It's like karaoke car kind of. And
Speaker 1: y'all are like, listen to rap songs that you get
Speaker 1: so funny because you get like road rage a little
Speaker 1: bit driving like you are like people. I don't understand people.
Speaker 1: I literally like the first time you posted it almost
Speaker 1: had tears my eyes laughing so high. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is the funniest I ever. No need your own TV.
Speaker 1: I get car sick. So if I'm not driving, you're
Speaker 1: the driver. Yeah, I always drive because when he drives
Speaker 1: a he cannot drive. First of all, he is like
Speaker 1: all of the place. So I get carsick. Even if
Speaker 1: I didn't get carsick, I would throw up because he
Speaker 1: was driving in general. But I get carsick just what
Speaker 1: in any situation. So I drive, which makes him so
Speaker 1: scared because he's not in control, you know. And then
Speaker 1: I like rap, and I like R and B, and
Speaker 1: I like totally different music than him. He's like classic
Speaker 1: classical rock, and but he's he's knowing these words. I
Speaker 1: see him wrapping now he does. I'm like, baby, you
Speaker 1: gotta learn this song. This is our next karaoke jam.
Speaker 1: He's like, he tries that doctor dry and eminem. I
Speaker 1: think you all should like honestly do your own TV
Speaker 1: show together. He would never. I's just the thing. We're funny,
Speaker 1: but boy, we are passionate people. Let me just say,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, if people only knew, if they could
Speaker 1: be a fly on the wall. I think that's great.
Speaker 1: You need passion. I know. It's just like when we
Speaker 1: get up set, we're upset, and I'm like, that's something
Speaker 1: that you have to you have to be okay and
Speaker 1: willing to let people into that part of your life
Speaker 1: and let you know, like people judge a lot. Some
Speaker 1: people loved it really difficult because it's like, oh, because
Speaker 1: you're freaking saint whatever, people love to judge. I love it.
Speaker 1: I know. We just can't worry about that. He's gonna hate.
Speaker 1: I know. I think the thing is Jason would never
Speaker 1: want cameras in the house that much. I get that. Actually,
Speaker 1: like living such a public life, you do like to
Speaker 1: have your sanctuary because we're so I mean, it's so
Speaker 1: public when we're on the road, we come home and
Speaker 1: we're like, you know, so coming home and having cameras,
Speaker 1: he would probably be like, okay, everybody get out. But
Speaker 1: you did do that one time with Tank when you
Speaker 1: surprised him. He him and you surprised him on that
Speaker 1: show Tank with a big fish tank and call it off.
Speaker 1: I did. I can't believe he did come up to
Speaker 1: some cameras. You loved it. He loved it. But the
Speaker 1: thing is I had to go pro on the Polarists
Speaker 1: that I drove to our barn to pick him up
Speaker 1: at and so the whole time, like, I can't believe
Speaker 1: he didn't realize what was going on. But I was like,
Speaker 1: you pulled it off. I know. I was like, I
Speaker 1: had to think of stupid stuff, like baby, I remember
Speaker 1: that go pro You've got me a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: Whatever I learned how to use it, I want to
Speaker 1: stick it on the players and come pick you up
Speaker 1: and see if it works. And you know, it's just
Speaker 1: like he's like, all right, I mean that's weird, but okay.
Speaker 1: So it's just little things that you had to think about. That.
Speaker 1: Oh and the worst part, so we the whole crew
Speaker 1: hid their cars and everything they put there, like equipment
Speaker 1: on our back porch. So when I pulled up to
Speaker 1: the garage, the park of the players. He turned around
Speaker 1: and all of the camera equipment and stuff was on
Speaker 1: the back porch, and he's going, the heck is all that?
Speaker 1: What is that? And he starts walking that way. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I've been working on my blog. I had, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I started. This is funny. Um, I had to make
Speaker 1: it up. So I was like, I've been working on
Speaker 1: my blog and people were over here with camera and
Speaker 1: stuff like helping me. So he's kind of like, all right,
Speaker 1: that's bizarre that you didn't tell me that. But okay,
Speaker 1: I start breaking on in hives full blown, and you
Speaker 1: are about to be filmed for take because you're about
Speaker 1: to chan him. I have hives everywhere because you're taught
Speaker 1: me I can't lie. That's good, Yes, you can't lie.
Speaker 1: I mean you break out and high. I broke out everywhere.
Speaker 1: So in the show, I have this like shawl thing
Speaker 1: and I don't even know what you call it, and
Speaker 1: I just wrapped myself up and people thought I was pregnant.
Speaker 1: They thought it was like hiding a belly, hiding your hives.
Speaker 1: I was hiding my hives, Brittany, that's hilarious. Broke out
Speaker 1: everywhere because I was so nervous, stressed out, upset that
Speaker 1: I had just lied like everything. I was broken out everywhere.
Speaker 1: So I just hid in this thing, like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I just don't pay that cameraver here. Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 1: The things that people go on behind the scenes. You
Speaker 1: know you have no clue there, Like she's hiding a vamp,
Speaker 1: she's pregnant. I'm like, I'm just broke out because I'm
Speaker 1: freaking stressed out. You know, I can't believe I pulled
Speaker 1: it off. But we have a hitch, which is amazing.
Speaker 1: We have this awesome fish tank. It's gorgeous and there
Speaker 1: was a perfect spot to put it. I think so too.
Speaker 1: That was our Christmas tree spot. And Jason's like, well,
Speaker 1: now we don't have any where to put the tree.
Speaker 1: I'm like, as whatever, you gotta put it in the
Speaker 1: corn gorgeous of the house. Who cares this is? This
Speaker 1: is awesome. So you've got an eel. His name's nesty
Speaker 1: like the locknest monster. I get attached. Oh my gosh,
